Rusty Wallace admits he’d love to see McMurray replace him in the #2 Miller Lite Dodge in the Nextel Cup series next season. But he knows that’s not happening. “I would love to see Jamie drive the 2 car, but Felix Sabates and ( Chip) Ganassi have a contract with him,” said Wallace, 48, who is retiring. “If they didn’t, I would love to have him drive for me. (But) those two are some of my best friends and there’s nothing I could ever do with it.” Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates invoked a one-year team option to retain McMurray, the 2003 rookie of the year, this season and reportedly can do so again in 2006 and 2007. Ganassi indicated with a no-dice smile that he doesn’t plan to let McMurray get away. “Fortunately, I value our friendship as well,” he said.(St Petersburg Times)(1-24-2005)
